Cheap flights to Europe (sort of)

Do you stress out and begin to hyperventilate when it’s time to book a European
flight?

Here are a few tips from CheapAir.com on how to save a few bucks and reduce your stress level
when purchasing summer flights to Europe:

Book early. The best/cheapest time to book a European flight is 319 days in
advance, according to CheapAir’s study of 190 million fares. The only problem is: It’s hard to know
319 days in advance when and where you want to go the following summer.

Be flexible: This advice is also helpful for finding a comfortable position in
your airplane seat. However, what they mean is Saturday is the most expensive day to fly; Tuesdays
and Wednesdays are the cheapest.

Alternate airports: The four cheapest places to fly to are Dublin, Brussels,
Madrid and Milan; the four most expensive are Rome, Athens, Munich and Venice.

Early/late: Early summer (the first half of June) and late summer (the end of
August) are the cheapest times to fly in the summer. May and September are even cheaper, but aren’t
officially summer.
